This park is renowned for its large elephant herds, baobab trees, and diverse birdlife. Enjoy an afternoon game drive, witnessing these majestic creatures roam freely. Full Day Game Drive in Tarangire National Park: Spend a full day exploring Tarangire, searching for lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, and countless other animals. Your guide will share their extensive knowledge of the park's ecosystem, animal behavior, and conservation efforts. In the evening, return to your lodge for relaxation and a delicious dinner. Journey to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area: Today, you'll journey to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage site. En route, you might have the opportunity to visit a Maasai village for a glimpse into their traditional way of life. Check into your lodge perched on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, offering breathtaking panoramic views. Descent into the Ngorongoro Crater: The Ngorongoro Crater is a geological marvel and a haven for wildlife. Descend into the crater floor for a remarkable game drive. Within this enclosed ecosystem, you'll have a high chance of spotting the "Big Five" – lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros, and buffalo – along with a plethora of other animals and birds. Enjoy a picnic lunch amidst this natural wonder before ascending back to the crater rim in the afternoon.
Scenic Flight to the Serengeti National Park:Â Enjoy a breathtaking scenic flight over the vast plains to the Serengeti National Park. This aerial perspective offers a unique appreciation for the sheer scale of the Serengeti ecosystem. Upon arrival at a designated airstrip, you'll be met by your safari guide and transferred to your camp in the heart of the Serengeti. Game Drives in the Central Serengeti:Â The Serengeti is famed for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles journey across the plains in search of fresh grazing. Depending on the time of year, you might witness this incredible spectacle. Even without the migration, the Serengeti offers unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities. Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives, exploring different areas of the park. Serengeti Exploration & Optional Activities:Â Continue your exploration of the Serengeti, seeking out predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. Consider optional activities such as a hot air balloon safari at sunrise for a truly unforgettable experience (additional cost). This offers a bird's-eye view of the Serengeti awakening, followed by a champagne breakfast upon landing.
Morning Flight to Zanzibar:Â After a final morning game drive (depending on flight schedule) and breakfast, you'll be transferred to the airstrip for your flight to Zanzibar. Upon arrival at Zanzibar Airport (ZNZ), you'll be met and transferred to your chosen hotel on the island.
